Dreamgirls

the biggest compliment you can give a movie is that nothing was wasted. every shot, piece of set design, lyric, piece of music and dialouge, costume, look, movement, and interaction of characters in Dreamgirls helps tell the story. this is an amazing movie and is at the top of great filmmaking. Bill Condon wrote the screenplay and directed the film from a Broadway musical written by Tom Eyen loosely based on musical artists like Diana Ross, The Supremes, and James Brown. Jamie Foxx, Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, Eddie Murphy, Danny Glover, and the rest of the cast turn in awesome performances that light up the screen. the Oscar buzz around this film is no joke, it deserves nominations in all the categories i can think of. this is the biggest competition i've seen for The Departed. that being said, i still give Marty and his crew the nod for Best Picutre. even with that being said, Dreamgirls is definitely one of the best films of the year.
